I think it is more about the $$$. Ohio State is going to bring more viewers, fans, and hype than a medium-sized Baptist private school.

While they will never publicly admit it (and I have no way to prove it) the entire ranking controversy of the preceding weeks was a simple ploy to get people to watch games they otherwise would not watch.

Very few people would have tuned in to see K-State v. Baylor outside the Big 12 viewing audience. With the controversy it all of a sudden became engaging TV.

The committee was full of smart people who knew exactly what they were doing and they got a huge out with OSU winning 59-0.
